The mission of the Christian Ministries program is to prepare students to be leaders in church institutions.

The Christian Ministries major is a broad-based program in applied religion that prepares students for a variety of opportunities for service as leaders in church institutions. Students may also prepare for seminary or graduate school as well as take religion electives as part of general education.

Graduation Requirements

Some courses taken for the major will simultaneously fulfill general education requirements. Please see the Graduation Requirements (bachelor’s degrees) section of this catalog for information on the general education program.

Students should note that the major provides fewer than the required 39 hours of 3000-4000 level coursework, therefore students will need to complete additional 3000-4000 level coursework to meet this requirement.

Program Requirements: 45-54 hours

Along with the general education program, students must complete the major’s prerequisites and core requirements, must select one of its emphasis areas (Missional Leadership, Vocational Ministries, Worship Arts), and complete the requirements and electives for that area.

A. Prerequisites: 3-6 hours

Public Speaking (COMM 2103) must be taken to fulfill the general education requirement in oral communication – 3 hours
